Cottonwood Gulch Expeditions

This is a place for those of us who need to get our hands and boots dirty in order to learn. We take you on world-class backpacking excursions, but the Gulch is much more than thatwe also use our hands to explore Southwestern art, archaeology, reptiles, and dinosaur bones. This is a true adventure through the wild lands of New Mexico.

I want to wander down backroads, along paths, and through the wilderness for the rest of my life. This place has taught me that.

What sets the Gulch apart from other adventure programs is that we give you the chance to CREATE your own legacy project. In addition to spectacular backpacking, rock climbing, and hiking, you can also work closely with our staff to create your own turquoise bracelet, make a star chart of the night sky, restore burrowing owl habitat on our prairies, reconstruct an 800-year-old pot with our archaeologist, or build a new chicken coop for our farm.
